[Reuolue in mind the great perplexitee]

Reuolue in mind the great perplexitee,
Of sinners, seeing them felues in such assay,
VVhen their iust Iudge aboue them they shall see,
And vnder them Hell, to swalowe them as pray,
All faythfull Christians marke this by the way,
If sentence geuen for Temporall offence,
Deserue here a death, with losse of goodes alway,
VVhat to offend the highest shalbe the sentence?
